Getting Started With CrossFit
Some general FAQ's about starting at CrossFit. Don't see your question? Email us at getstarted@reebokcrossfitfirepower.com.
Q.1 How is Reebok CrossFit FirePower different from other gyms?
First off, you have to see the facility to understand why. The layout is different, the equipment is different, the classes are different, the trainers are different. At Reebok CrossFit FirePower, we plan and lead workouts that change every day using our unique equipment. Each time you come there is a trainer that teaches, encourages, and pushes you so that you are able to see results quickly. Also, we a re a community, not just a place to workout. We hang out together inside and out of the gym; we share meals together; we celebrate together; we drink coffee after the wods together; we hang out at the gym even on our days off because we enjoy being around the place and each other.
Q.2 How will I know I’m seeing results ?
The nice thing about CrossFit is that you can tell exactly what your results are, and put a number to them in a very real and quantifiable way. The workouts we do are timed, or the reps are counted so that from workout to workout, and month to month you can track your results and see a measurable difference. .
Q.3 I’m not in great shape can I still do the workouts ?
Absolutely! You’re not expected to be an elite athlete when you walk through the door. Every workout can be tailored to your specific level and skill set. The CrossFit Foundations program will teach every lift and exercise you will need to know before joining a class workout. The best thing about CrossFit is that you will get out of it what you put into it. The harder you push yourself the better the results will be. .

Boxing
Reebok CrossFit FirePower is the only authentic boxing gym in Milton! All are welcome for a free trial class.
Q.1 What do I wear for boxing?
Running shoes, cross-trainers or boxing shoes with light tread for foot rotation Loose fitting clothing, track pants, shorts, T-shirt or tank top Hand wraps & boxing gloves** ** Gloves & wraps are available for short term use, however members are encouraged to purchase their own for sanitary purposes. They can be purchased through FPB or we can provide advice on what to purchase elsewhere..
Q.2 What's the youngest age for boxing?
To participate in the classes, a person must be older than 12 years unless they have had special permission. This is for safety of the child while holding a heavy bag for an adult.
Q.3 Do you have competitive boxing?
Yes, however we are very strict with safety for all boxers. All athletes are required to spend time in the classes under the guidance of our Boxing Ontario coaches. If a person has indicated they want to spar or compete, they will need to spend time with a trainer 1:1 to learn defense tactics, footwork, safety and general ringmanship. Before any sparring can be done, the athlete MUST register with Boxing Ontario as a competitive athlete. Forms are available from the front desk.
